The Junior Ballet Frankfurt is presenting their ballet to the art world for the 125th anniversary of the Nutcracker premiere in 1892 in Saint Petersburg. The audience is given the opportunity to travel to the world of dance and classical music. What makes the travel even more special is that the ballet is performed by children for children and, of course, for all the ballet lovers. We want to establish the great Christmas tradition - "The Nutcracker" - in Frankfurt.

What is this project all about?

Ballet dancers of different ages from the Ballet School DAS
STUDIO and Junior Ballet Frankfurt present their current version of
The Nutcracker - the classical performance of one of the most
famous ballets composed by P.I. Tchaikovsky and based on a romantic
fairy tale written by E.T.A. Hoffman. The enchanting story of the
brave Nutcracker, angry Mouse King, little Mary and first love that
wins at the end, is world famous and opens the doors to the
classical ballet. 120 dancers, more than 300 unique costumes,
authentic stage set and professional sound and light technology
await viewers at one of the most beautiful stages in Hessen.

The project enriches public and cultural life of the region by
creating a new platform for dance. It facilitates an
intergenerational exchange for the members of the newly established
JBF community that was normally missing until now. Thanks to our
"children for children" initiative kids and teens gather valuable
stage experience, have an opportunity to participate in a famous
ballet, discover and enrich their creative potential, and learn new
artistic and cultural ways of expressing oneself.

Your support will make a fairy tale come
alive!

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Our goals are:

• To support JUNIOR BALLET FRANKFURT
• To create the classical ballet production with young dancers at
a high professional artistic level
• With the help of Crowdfunding we hope to partially cover the
costs for a technologically appropriate facility, technological
equipment, stage set and costumes

The target group:

Our young participants gain their first valuable experience in
art and dance. The advanced members deliberately enjoy a
fascinating trip to the stage world. The production welcomes and
attracts all age groups in the audience.

Why would you support this project?

Are you interested in culture, dance, theatre?
Here is your chance to make the staging of a classical ballet
possible as well as to contribute to the development of the Junior
Ballet Frankfurt.

Every contribution that is made through this
Crowdfunding campaign goes towards the production of The
Nutcracker. Supporting us should bring you joy! Every voice
matters!

You can decide if you want to pre-order VIP tickets, ensure
yourself a calendar, a T-shirt or a private lesson, perpetuate your
name or your company or just to make us a bit happier with your
help.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

The crowdfunding of the project should
partially finance The Nutcracker ballet. We need
the budget to build the stage set, make/rent costumes, and pay for
the theatre stage rental.
In case of successful funding the project will be realized in one
of the Frankfurt theatres between June - December 2017.

You are cordially invited to the production
premiere!
